Happy Fourth of July!!!

We started off our holiday with taking Mike's truck to a shop to get the engine replaced. We were doing really well until a rod blew and black smoke and oil came barreling out behind the truck. Our little green machine was covered in oil from it. Luckily we were able to exit safely, but we were so sad that the engine now was completely shot. The twisted piece of rod that Mike is holding was the culprit that put a huge whole in his oil pan. We're lucky that it didn't shoot out and hit anyone or anything. We were kind of close to the shop, but with the engine shot we had to have Mike's brother Dan come and save the day and tow us the rest of the way with the Land Cruiser. It was sad to leave our truck, but hopefully the guy won't have any problems replacing the engine. He said he'd get it done this weekend, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

We did have some fun though today by buying a video camera! We got a great deal on it at Best Buy. It is a 30G Hard Drive recorder, and we got an extra battery and a sweet case for only $470. Plus, we even got a 4 year replacement warranty for only another $120. It may sound like a lot, but we think it is the best deal out there, especially for the hard drive models. We also love that it is blue. :-) Now we are officially ready for this little guy to come so hopefully sometime soon!

We finished off the day by going up to Park City to watch the fireworks and enjoy the cabin afterwards. Absolutely perfect! The boys had some fun juggling the Boccie balls that glow in the dark. It was way entertaining!
